Now I Understand

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake The corner with the rose I leaned in close And I told him that I loved him, and he ran It made my heart stop It made my heart stop Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop Even though it feels like it could explode Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop It beats on and on and on And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit And spied across the pool at all my friends But I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone Because my heart stopped It made my heart stop I didn't get what I expected Reached out and I got rejected I couldn't have it cause I checked it off Felt sad, I didn't understand it Why would this happen to me? But my heart, it didn't stop It beat on and on and on Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop Even though it feels like it could explode Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop It beats on and on and on
